Installing Device Drivers for SCO Open Server
Before continuing, be sure you have properly completed the
hardware installation of your PeerMaster adapter.
An adapter diskette image file containing a link layer interface (LLI)
driver is available for the SCO Open Server Enterprise Release 3.x
operating system. Search the IBM BBS or the IBM Personal
Computer Web site for the keyword PeerMaster to locate the file.
The file is compressed in the Z format. It can be downloaded to a
DOS or OS/2 system and written to a DOS diskette, or downloaded
to a UNIX system. Copy the file to the server hard disk and expand
it using the UNIX UNCOMPRESS command. Use the UNIX DD
command to create a UNIX diskette containing the drivers. For
detailed instructions, configuration information, and usage
information, review the SCO driver README file.
Installation Overview
The following list provides the basic flow of the LAN software
installation process. The details required to install the software
begin with “Precautions, Limitations, and Guidelines” on page 38.
Note: The software supplied with the PeerMaster adapter enables
multiple physical LAN segments to be registered with Novell
NetWare as a single VNET.
1. Review “Precautions, Limitations, and Guidelines” on page 38
for specific Novell NetWare information.
2. Copy the LAN software onto your server hard disk. Install the
files for the PeerMaster adapter onto the DOS partition of your
server by copying them from the PeerMaster Server Adapter
Option Diskette. “Installing Network Device Drivers” on
page 39 guides you through this process.
